i’ll do it: it’s actually bad to have more agency than you have a clear understanding of your values. that’s a recipe for being preyed on by people who want your agency to serve their agenda. refusing to cultivate agency can be a defense against this https://t.co/uxX7T5oey3
agency discourse got me feeling some type of way. people talked about agency a lot in the rationality community and in retrospect i think it was poisoned with a kind of double bind the whole time. "you should cultivate agency so that you can do what *we* want"

@QiaochuYuan It's hilarious to be in a room with me and @yoltartar having a convo about *the type of people who get stuff done* because the A word will almost slip out and we’ll both wince and try to use a different concept 🥴
